Difference in thermodynamic definitions

How will I know when a process is isochoric, isothermal, or isobaric?

Isochoric: a process that occurs without a change in volume. This could happen in a closed or insulated system. Any change in pressure or temperature will not be accompanied by a change in volume.

Isothermal: a process that occurs without a change in temperature. Any change in pressure or volume does not affect the temperature of the system. Thing about isothermal, reversible expansions.

Isobaric: a process that occurs without a change in pressure. Any change in temperature or volume does not affect the pressure of the system.
